February 2008

Maitreya continues to noticeably grow everyday.  I pack away some 'too-tiny' outfits each week.  At the end of this month she'll be 7 weeks old and nearly 12lbs (my little chubby bubby).  She still defies a regular daytime schedule, but some nights approaches 5 hours between feedings!.... although the last 3 days she went 5+, 6+, and 6 hours!  Hopefully this trend continues into March.

Her highlights this month were her 1 month birthday, Daddy's birthday, her first Valentine's Day and visiting Daddy at work.  I think Daddy enjoyed it more than her... he keeps asking when she can come back.  We also started going to a mommy/baby group for 0-1 yr olds.  So far she is the youngest... but not the smallest.  She likes to look around at the big kids learning to walk and crawl for a few minutes.... and then she mostly sleeps through the rest of the playdate.  All the other moms are impressed with her tummy-time tolerance, and head holding abilities.  This month she also began to roll over... although she shows off that skill rather elusively.  Her little smile is contagious.
